ConclusionTells whether the data supports the hypothesisExplains WHY or WHY NOTData RelationshipsDirectly Proportional When one thing increases, the other does as well

Ex. the more you study, the better your scoreData RelationshipsInversely ProportionalWhen one thing increases the other decreases

Ex. the more time you spend playing video games, the less time you have for homeworkScientific MethodObservationWhat a scientist sees around them

ProblemA question formed from the observations/facts

HypothesisWhat you think the answer to the problem isMake an educated guess

ExperimentDesigned to gather data about the problem and hypothesis

ProcedureWhat you DO in the experiment; look at ONE thingScientific MethodVariables – the things changed in an experiment

Independent 1. doesn’t change based on another variable2. changed by you or on its own

Dependent1. measured variable2. changes based on independent

Control 1. part of experiment where nothing is changed2. used to compareScientific MethodResultsData and observations taken from experimentsCentered around variable

Data TableDiagram that organizes data

GraphsDiagrams showing how the dependent variable changes based on independent variableUses a measuring tool to get quantitative data
